Subject:      Radiator Fan Differences & A/C install update
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,

I'm still working on my A/C install from a 90 Westy into my 87.  I've
got all the wiring in the rear of the van done and most of the wiring in
the front.  All the a/c components are in place and so I have one final
big task:  re-wiring the cooling system.

According to my wiring diagrams the Digifant vanagon, with A/C, got a
different radiator fan than the vans without A/C.  It's a two-wire fan
and VW uses a resistor to run it at lower speeds.  It looks like it's
configured for three speeds.  The top speed runs the fan directly from
the battery on 6 gauge wire and a 50amp fusable link.  That must be
pretty impressive!

Does anyone know what the part number on this fan is?  (The one for the
van's with A/C)?  Does anyone have a spare they'd like to sell or trade
for my existing?  Or do they know of other VWs or Audis it was used in?
I'm also still in need of the 3rd stage fan relay that is unique to the
a/c vans and I need the resistor used with the rad fan...

Thanks,

Damian
